A Beautiful American Girl.

The social sensation at Newport
was the debut at that resort OF fash
ionables OF Misses Winslow and Grant
the two American bellies who have had
such success in London society. An
account of the great event says OF
one OF them: AS for Miss Grant, she
indeed is truly beautiful. Quietly,
unostentatiously she slipped into the
Casino; ANA, before many realized
that she Was there, she was dancing
with one OF the several partners who
hastened to her. She has about her
something of that nameless charm
with which Miss Austin and the move
lists OF her time invested their tavor-
ite damsel<. Her head is like tie
head. of a Flora cut in a cameo-the
features regular and clear-cut, dark
eyes, small, straight nose, a asensitive
mouth, and, to crown all. a skin that
creamy pallor which is the rarest
and loveliest tint in the world. Her
dark hair is worn in a twisted knot,
with ribbon wound in and out and a
curl or two atop OF all, and the small
head is set on her shoulders with an
exquisite grace. There was not,
among all the crowd of women about
her, one as simply dressed as she, for
her gown was made of nothing more
than plain white null, and that, too,
cut in the severest fashion. Long
straight lines in the skirt, and a sash of
nauli about her waist, a body cut
square before and behind, short
sleeves and not a. jewel Or ornament
of any description could anything
have been less like the elaborate cos
TUNES in which one imagines a belle
attired? Yet, as she moved through
the square dances, with acharming

CHICAGO. Nov. 30.-0ver 500 workers
in the prohibition cause gathered in
battery d this morning at the session OF
the national central convention of the
Prohibition party. Among the promi,
nent leaders present are Ex-Governor
John 2. st. John, of Kansas, Frances
h. Willard, Of Illinois, and Mother
Stewar', of Ohio. The committee this
afternoon decided to hold a national con-
vention during the first week in June,
1883.
The Prohibitionists held a meeting to-
night in honor of the late Jno. r. Finch,
the renowned Temperance leader. G,n.
Clinton X. Fisk presided. The eulogy
was pronounced by Miss Frances E.
Willard and was listened to with great
interest, she having been associated with
MIR. Finch in temperance work Tor many
years.
Indianapolis was finally decided upon
as the place for holding the next national
convent on and the first Wednesday III
June, 1855 as the day. Prof Dlckey, the
newly elected chairman, announced that
he would at once resign his position in
\lbion college and devote his entire time

ALVIN JOSLIN.
A Theatrical Chestnut, Greeted BY a
Very Large A IdienCe.

The largest audience that has appeared
IN the opera house in six months Assem-.
bled there last evening. There was be-
tween 900 and 1000 people present
to see a hebitudinous actor named Davis
display his massive American nerve, his
brilliant diamonds and his peerless b nd.
The size of the audience was probably
accounted for on the principle laid down
by the candid Mr.. Barnum, that the
American public likes to be humbugged.
After the lapse of another season the
same h~ebitudinous Mr.. Davis, with
slightly accentua;ed nerve, an added peck
or two of diamonds and the self same
peerless band, may again e~leclriiy tn
truStful community aud play to another
audience which will be limited only By
the size Of the house. And still where's
the use of bowling about II? Aivn Jos.
In is an arstIstic Jonah but n commercial
gold mine. Probably seventy-fve per
cent OF the people present keenly
enjoyed the performance which they had
paid their hard earned money to see
They were perfectly satisfied and Mr..
Davis had no reason to be displeased
By way of parenthesis it may be added
tn 1t there are no flies on Mr.. Davis.
The cornet, trombone and zylophone
solos were generally enjoyed, while the
"Boulanger March as rendered by
the orchestra was little short of an ar
tistic triumph. Some of the stage set
ting was very good.
Among the performers Will L. Talbot
as Bob Ford and L. j. Roden as Jim
Dean" are worthy of mention.
Campanini and his wonderful com
pyny are underlined for lex Wednesday

We have all had u sympathies aroused
by statements that the natives of north
ern Siberia are often during famines
compelled to resort to wood for food.
Now, the fact is that careless observers
have simply been imposed upon or they
have jumped at conclusions without car
ing or perhaps being able to make inqui.
ries, and because they thought that a
statement of these views would make a
heartrending page for their books, and by
inference show what a distressing time
they themselves must nave had among
such surroundings. Wood in a certain
form is a most common and constant
article of diet or the Lena river, all along
the north coast and in the immediate
neighborhood of Yakutsk-in fact, wher-
ever the Yakut resides. North of Yer
c~hoyausk, except in a few sheltered val
leys, it may be said there is no other
wood than the larch, and for miles south
of the tree limit absolutely no other.
The natives eat it because they like it.
Even when fish arc plentiful it usually
forms part of the evening meal, as the
many clearly stripped larch logs near
every hut testify. They know by expert
ence that the fact of their eating wood
arouses the sympathies of strangers, and
shrewdly use it to excite pity and to OBJ
tain a gift of tea and tobacco. They
scrape off the thick layers Immediately
Under the bark Of a log, and chopping it
fine, mix it with snow. 1t is then boiled
in a kettle. Sometimes a little fish roe is
mixed with it, and farther south cows
milk or butter. l have often seen it eaten
without anything additional, though, as
in the present instance, there was ap-
parently enough other food on hand

1t has been the custom of late TO disbe-
lieve in the ancient estimates of the popu-
lation of China; but The North China
Herald, a well informed journal, pub
fishes statistics which strongly support
them. 1t appears that the authorities at
Pekin have recently taken a census for
taxing purposes, and that the village
ballltfs, whose business it is to understate
the figures, return the population at 49,
3S3, 500. Five provinces are omitted, and
their population, as recorded in the last
census, brings the total up to 302, 600, 600.
Even this figure is independent of the
population of Thibet, Kashgar, Iii and
Corea; and the total number of souls
ruled by the emperor of China, therefore.
exceeds 400, 600, 900, and still displays n
tendency TO increase.
As the population of India exceeds
$50, 900, 900, the Indians and Chinese to-
Gether constitute more than half the en-
tire human race, n fact worth the attcn-
ton Of those philosophers who study
London and Paris, and then announce

world will belong in the main to four

India. 1t is quite possible, however,
that they may quarrel, and that their

The symptoms Of biliousneSs are unhap-
PLY too well known. They differ in dif-
terent individuals to some extent. A bill
ious man is seldom a breakfast eater.
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for solids OF
a morning. His tongue will hardly bear
inspection at any time; if it is pot white
and furred, II is rough, at all even.s
The digestive system is wholly out OF
order and Diarrhea or Constipation may
be a symptom or the two may alternate.
There are often Hemmorrhoids or even
loss of blood. There may be giddiness
and often headache and acidity or fiatu-
lence and tenderness in the pit of the
stomach. To correct all this if not effect
a cure try GREEN'S august FIot0er, it costs
